I have a Gateway mx6650 (MA2A). For some reason the modem doesn't
work. I have installed both snd_intel8x0m and slamr. Gnomeppp and
wvdial try to dial but fail on dial tone. Gnomeppp, when set to not
wait for dialtone, still fails. What else do I try. Heres the output
of wvdial:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====

Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.5
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.5
linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be
changed to match your modem's port.
